Washington girl badly injured after being pushed off bridge by 'friend'

A Washington state teenager had a near death experience when a so-called friend pushed her off a bridge on Tuesday.

According to KATU, Jordan Holgerson, 16, suffered five broken ribs and a lung injury after unexpectedly plunging 18-metres to the water below at Moulton Falls.

The incident, which was caught on camera and went viral, shows the young girl standing on a ledge and having second thoughts about jumping into the river before someone from behind pushes her off the bridge.
